This is an example of a typical BeamClamp assembly used to connect
two steel sections together. The assembly consists of a pre-drilled
location plate [4] inserted between the two steel sections. An upper
set of BeamClamp components [2] clamp down on the lower flange
of the upper beam while a lower set of components [5] work in the
opposite direction, clamping the underside of the upper flange of the
lower member. Additional packing shims [3] may be used to adjust the
clamp to the thickness of the flange being connected. The connection
is secured by inserting a bolt [1] through each of the lower clamps,
the location plate, the upper clamps and then tightening a nut to the
recommended torque. BeamClamp is pleased to offer a free design
service to advise on the appropriate components for your particular
assembly. In addition we are pleased to include a quotation for your
supply of bolts, nuts, washers and pre-drilled location plates.
